Hidden deep within the wilds of Where Winds Meet, the Enchanting Lotus glows with rare power-yet finding and claiming it demands sharp instincts, patience, and a touch of daring.
Approach and you’ll pick up an affliction that slowly depletes your health. Ruby suggests there’s more to the flower than meets the eye, and your video game sense will likely be barking the same. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to loot the miasmic Enchanting Lotus flowers in Where Winds Meet.
How to loot Enchanting Lotus in Where Winds Meet
Approach the purple Enchanting Lotus carefully, as walking straight into the miasma will inflict a harmful status that must be treated by a healer or at a clinic. Instead of interacting with the flower directly, look upward to spot the glowing purple butterflies connected to it and shoot them down with fire arrows, sometimes needing one or two shots to clear every swarm. Once the butterflies are gone and the fog disperses, you can safely loot the Enchanting Lotus and then trade it to Oddities vendors, such as the collector in Verdant Wilds, for permanent stat boosts like extra health and endurance.
To disarm and loot the Enchanting Lotus, you’ll need to attack and kill the butterflies fluttering near the plant. To do this, you can use a bow or any melee weapon. Approach and give them a good whack or two to kill them. Sometimes, you’ll need to hit multiple groups of butterflies, but they are generally easy to track and tend to fly very close to the flower.
Once you’ve defeated the butterflies, head back to the Enchanting Lotus. You’ll find that it’s no longer spewing toxic misma, and getting near it won’t cause you to get an affliction any longer. You can now approach and loot the small mound of rewards at the foot of the plant safely, which usually includes Enchanting Lotus life material and some currency.

How to collect Enchanting Lotus by killing butterflies
To collect Enchanting Lotus in Where Winds Meet by killing butterflies, first locate the glowing purple flower surrounded by miasma, which poisons you if approached directly.
Spotting Butterflies
Activate Wind Sense (V key on keyboard or right stick on controller) while facing the flower to reveal 1-3 misty purple trails leading upward to hidden butterfly swarms.
Follow each trail carefully, as butterflies hover high or nearby and sustain the toxic cloud.
Killing the Swarms
Equip a bow for ranged attacks-fire arrows work best for quick kills, but regular arrows suffice.
Shoot all butterflies in every swarm until none remain; you’ll hear a wind chime sound and see the miasma fade as confirmation.
Melee is possible if close, but avoid it to stay safe from poison.
Collecting the Lotus
Approach the now-clear flower and interact to loot the Enchanting Lotus oddity, which provides exploration XP and can be traded for stat upgrades like endurance or HP.
If diseased from accidental contact, seek a healer or clinic promptly.
